Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or extended Home screens. Unlike a shortcut, the Widget appears as an onscreen application. Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and email accounts, and many other types of apps.

Adding a Widget

1.Navigate to the desired Home screen.

2.Touch and hold an empty space on the Home screen and then tap Apps and widgets > Widget tab.

3.Touch and hold an available Widget to position it on the current screen.

Removing a Widget

1.Press to display the main Home screen.

2.Touch and hold the desired widget. This unlocks it from its location on the current screen.

3.Drag the widget up to the Remove icon and release it.

Note: This action does not delete the application, it simply removes it from the current screen.

Extended Home Screens

In addition to the main home screen, your phone supports up to six extended home screens to provide more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. To move an existing item to another home screen, touch and hold the icon or widget and then drag across the screen to move from the main screen to an extended screen.

Your phone supports up tosix extended screens in addition to the main Home screen.

Note: You cannot add more screens, unless you have previously deleted any of the existing screens. The maximum number of home screens is seven.
